Chapter 2: How can struggle lead to spiritual growth?
And it doesn't matter if I'm Hindu or Christian or Catholic or Jewish or Muslim, there's one spiritual brain. And of course there's one source of life. So we have one spiritual brain and we have one source of life. We're all spiritual beings and we're on this common shared. There's one spiritual journey. Now we can call it different things.
There's beautiful faith traditions, Hashem, God, Jesus, a lot, but, but we're on one spiritual journey together. And we know some things through our faith traditions, but also through MRIs about how our spiritual inborn gift is built.
When we look through the FMRI, we see that the neurocircuits in our brain are built to be able to perceive, not just believe, but see and know that we are loved and held. The bonding network comes online as we connect with our higher power. We are loved and held. We are guided.
There's a shift in the attention network from the top down dorsal to the bottom up ventral, which means we're able to see that God lays on our path. Messengers, synchronicity, symbols, bottom up awareness, not just what do I want? I'm going to drill through life. My roadmap says left and right. Wait a minute. Something today is saying go right. Loved and held, guided. And we are never, ever alone.
The parietal, which puts in and out the distinctions, the boundaries between us. You know, you're sitting in your chair and I'm sitting in mine. You have your zipped up bio bodysuit. In this life, you were born a man and I'm born a woman. Our differences. We might have different race, different orientation. These are markers of, yes, we all sit in our chair. We're magnificently diverse.
But the parietal lets us see that we're also all children of God. We're all emanations of one source. We are one. So we are distinct, but we are also one, loved, held, guided, and never alone. That means that anyone could be an ambassador sent by God. I don't care what they look like. I don't care what they're from. I certainly don't care if they're from a red or blue state.
God loves us all and sends us all. Loved, held, guided, and never alone. And we're all designed to see and live that way, to live that way.
So it sounds like a lot of what you're talking about is intuition. How do you view the role of intuition or premonition in your scientific work and how has it guided your research?
Intuition, premonition. gut instinct. For some people, it's a deep knowing, inner wisdom. Sometimes it's a mystical experience or a dream or a daydream, but this way of direct knowing is real. This is real, hard data. This is essential information for our path. John, you heard your calling to serve the broken and those who hurt, and you knew that was real.
